[New] A/N: This is an old story from an older account that I'm just trying to review and revive. I don't plan on changing the plot -just some grammar issues. It was one of my first fanfics. Btw, I plan on shipping the same couple in my next story as in this one. ;D
[Old] A/N: Alright! The fighting begins. But violence is not the answer, right? RIGHT! Because out of violence comes consequences! This chapter will have a VERY big consequence about both Zanjoe and Draco. I hope you like it! I mean the chapter, not the consequences! O.O
Disclaimer: All credit, but my Zanjoe character and this silly plot, goes to J.K. Rowling.
Unexpected Happenings
Draco's P.O.V.
"The train will be arriving around three in the afternoon today. I'll meet you in the trophy room after lunch; therefore we won't miss Cho's arrival. At least I won't, that is." I hissed into Zanjoe's ear. As usual, Marietta stopped our duel. So I challenged him. I'll show Cho how pathetic he really is. I'll show her how he can't protect her, and I can.
"Then again, she does love him. She doesn't love me…" my heart began to speak.
"Draco! Get a hang yourself," my mind argued. "How are you so sure she doesn't love you? Just prove how worthless Rodriguez is then she'll love you."
"Yeah, but what if she feels sorry for him, and get angry at you." My heart responded.
"Ey, mate, once she sees how weak he is, she'll never go to him," my mind hissed.
"But if she does love him, then she'll hate me for beating the crap out of him." My heart ached at the thought, "She may not want to even look at me anymore."
"Draco!"
"What?"
"It's nearly the end of lunch and you haven't eaten." Pansy began to chatter again. "So…"
"Oh yeah," I took a spoonful of mashed potatoes and headed to the Trophy Room. I couldn't fight on a full stomach. There would be too much stuff I'd get sick. So I waited for the fool to show at the directed place.
Finally, he came. His wand was already at hand. I took mine out of my robe.
"Ready, Rodriguez?"
"Are you?"
"Flagrate!" flames rushed towards him.
Surprisingly, he doused my spell, "Aqumenti."
"So, you've been practicing your spells." I chuckled, "You obviously can't do it alone, and so who's been helping you?"
"A friend," he smiled.
I circled him like a shark, "May we know who this friend is?"
"She has no concern to this battle." He let his wand down.
"Everte Statum," Zanjoe flipped across the room. "Has this friend of yours told you not to let your guard down? She obviously is stupid."
"She is not stupid." He got to his feet.
"Oh so we care about this friend? A lot or a little?"
"Why do you care," he lifted his wand"
"Just curious…"I replied.
"Don't you know that curiosity killed the cat?" he flicked his wand. "Levicorpus."
I hung upside-down in mid-air. I laughed.
"Are you mad? Why the hell are you laughing?"
"Liberacorpus," my feet touched the ground again. "Nothing, it's just I've always found that spell worthless."
"That wasn't worthless. I could have let you go in mid-air and you would've broken a bone or something."
"Or I would have said 'Liberacorpus' and I would be free. So it was lame. I'm sorry, mate, but whoever your tutor is, she stinks."
"She does not."
"Let's have her name so I can tell you if she stinks or not."
"Marietta…"
"Oh, is she helping you since you didn't have brains enough to study by yourself?" I continued to laugh.
"Rictrus Sempra!" I flew back and hit a trophy shelf.
Zanjoe laughed, "Remember not to let your guard down."
"Now, we're getting serious." I stood up and lifted my wand, "Acendio." I flew in mid-air. "Orbis!"
"Finite!" he called. My spell backfired, and knocked me out of the air.
"Marietta taught me the knockback jinx as well."
I stood up, and waited for him to throw a spell.
"Glacius," icicles came my way.
"Flarate!" my flames melted the ice. "Immobulus!"
"Protego," he grinned. "I learned the shield, too, Malfoy!"
"Pretty good," I circled him again, "But how do you match to the Unforgivables."
"The what?"
"Oh Marietta didn't tell you about the spells. Man, she's stupider than I thought." I apologized to Cho mentally for being rude to her best friend.
"Quit taunting Marietta. She's not involved in this."
"Whatever…"
"Expelliarmus!" he cried.
"Protego," my shield deleted his spell, "Why do you care if I call her names?"
"Impervius"
"Protego" I smirked, "Ignoring the question?"
"Serpentsortia!" snakes flew before me.
"Evanesca," the serpents turned into dust.
"Ventus!" a whirlwind picked both of us up.
"Great! You idiot! This spell will continue for an hour." I cried.
"No it won't. You don't read enough. All you have to do is douse it." He pointed his want upwards. "Aguamenti."
We both fell to the ground, as the winds died. I quickly got to my feet.
"Wadiwass!" trophies, chairs, tables came crashing in his direction.
"Protrego." His shield was pretty strong, "She's my girlfriend."
I lost control of the flying objects, "What?"
"Marietta is my girlfriend."
"Since when?"
"Since she taught me to duel properly."
"But…"
"But what? Jealous?"
But doesn't Cho like you? I couldn't manage to say it. She'll be heart broken when she finds out that her best friend and her one love are going out. I wanted the words to come out, but they wouldn't I lost my guard.
"What's up, Draco?"
"What?" I lifted my head.
"Everte Statum, "I flipped backwards.
As I stood up I cried, "Crucio!"
"Protego!" he exclaimed. I didn't know the Unforgivables could be blocked.
"I don't know what that was, Draco…" the spell wore out, "but it was way too strong."
"I know. That's why I'm using it."
"Zanjoe!" Marietta ran into the room.
Cho followed, "Draco!"
"Cho!" Zanjoe and I said simultaneously
"Draco, stop fighting," Cho cried.
"Zanjoe, quit it!" Marietta called.
"No, I'm going to finish this scoundrel once and for all." I replied.
"Not if I finish you first, you slimy git!" Zanjoe exclaimed.
"Stop it!" Cho called.
"No Cho. Zanjoe deserves this."
"What?" Cho and Marietta chorused.
"Why?" Cho asked looking at Zanjoe.
"Oh, so your best friend hasn't told you?"
She then looked at Marietta. Her face was full of confusion.
"She and Zanjoe are going out"
"What…" there was a hint of distress in her voice.
"Damn it, she's sad again. Maybe angry at me for letting it out. Draco, you bloody idiot." My mind began to play tricks on me again.
To break the silence that filled the room, Zanjoe suddenly cried, "Crucio!"
Marietta gasped. When I cried out 'Protego' I noticed the spell didn't hit my shield, but someone else. Cho. She ran in between us. Now she was lying on the floor, unconscious. Zanjoe's Crucio was quite powerful.
"You git!" I kneeled by Cho.
"Zanjoe," Marietta grasped his arm. She was terror-struck.
"Renervate…"Zanjoe whispered.
"You idiot!" I hissed, "That only works for lightly casted spells."
"What?"
I picked up Cho, "Some kind of friend you are, Rodriguez."
"If we didn't start fighting, Cho wouldn't have gotten hurt."
"If you hadn't surprised me with Marietta being you girlfriend, then I would've finished you earlier."
"Zanjoe, stop." Marietta pushed us apart. "Draco, please take her to the Infirmary."
"That's what I was planning on doing, if Rodriguez here would get out of the way."
"Come on, Zanjoe," she pulled him out of the room.
Luckily, it was third period and nobody was in the halls. Zanjoe and I have been dueling longer than expected. I looked at Cho's blank face. She was pale and cold. I didn't even have time to check for a pulse. The thought of her being gone made me want to cry. I forced my tears back. Marietta and Zanjoe had already gone to their classes. I didn't care for my Charm's class.
As I entered the infirmary, Madame Pompfrey saw Cho and quickly ran to me with a myriad of questions. I told her I'd answer her if I put Cho down and she tended to her. My arms were growing tired. Once I placed Cho on an empty bed, I told Madame Pompfrey everything. From when Cho left, until now. I left out the part about my feelings for Cho and how Zanjoe and Marietta were going out. I just told her that Cho ran in between us, since she didn't like to see us fighting. She was just trying to stop us. I also didn't tell her Zanjoe and I cast the Crucio spell. I just said it was a powerful spell I didn't understand. She told me that Cho will wake up tomorrow, but won't go back to class for a while.
Once again, I looked at Cho's pale complexion. I was dying on the inside to see her in such conditions. It reminded me of the Mermaid incident. I promised that nothing would harm her. Then I just broke it. I had to stay by her side. So I asked Madame Pompfrey to excuse me from 4th and 5th period. I explained that I didn't require Quidittch practice since the next game was not for a week, but I had no excuse for Defense Against the Dark Arts. She approved, and surprisingly I thanked her. Cho helped me build manners towards elders. It's strange what influence one girl can have on one's life. Especially one like me.
[Old] A/N: So…what do you think? I love this Chapter! This is my 2nd Favorite (1st was the date…what was yours?) Man! Draco's really falling for this one! Ha ha ha…BUT Who does Cho like. Draco or Zanjoe… It's still a mystery. But obviously Draco LOVES Cho. Wait! Zanjoe? He's going out with Marietta? I know strange, but just continue reading and reviewing…The entire story will unwrap. Just like how you unwrap your Christmas present on Christmas Day! Yay.
BTW: After I finish this story I won't be 'online' and writing for a while. I'm just going to take a break and refresh my mind with new juicy ideas! I hope you read my upcoming novelette! It'll be called Innocent Love: Puppy Love. I plan on making it a Trilogy. I hope you read it. (Synopsis/Summary on my profile!)
[New] If you're interested, 'Innocent Lovers: Puppy Love' is up and complete on my fictionpress account. I'm writing the second novelette of the series 'Innocent Lovers: True Love'. Oh and, as a side note, I do remember looking up all these spells on potterwiki so I think they should be all true. Or something to that effect. If any of them aren't, I'm sorry. Enjoy and thank you. :)
